Self-centered leaders manipulate when they move people for personal benefit. Mature leaders motivate by moving people for mutual benefit.

You realize that we over-exaggerate yesterday, we over-estimate tomorrow and we underestimate today. We think, "Well, I'm going to kill time," "I'll get back to this tomorrow."

Pastors need to find their place in the community of believers by spending time with God.

Great communicators leave their audiences with great clarity.

I am convinced more than ever that good communication and leadership are all about connecting. If you can connect with others at every level -one-on-one, in groups, and with an audience-your relationships are stronger, your sense of community improves, your ability to create teamwork increases, your influence increases, and your productivity skyrockets.

If you can raise up leaders, you will always have followers, but if you can't raise up leaders, you will only have followers.

Presence is a result of confidence. Presence... when we see it we feel it.
